Blown Gearbox on a 1997 GF8 WRX
Hey guys,
A couple of weeks ago I went to take off and second gear blew up, i cannot select it anymore and if i can it seems to be another neutral. Does anyone know a good place i can get it replaced/repaired and about how much its going to cost? Cheers |

the 5 speed second gear is generally a weak point no matter how you drive, its the gear that cops 90% of your acceleration, always the gear you do round abouts with and often the gear thats downshifted into without proper rev-matching.

These days... about $2-2.5K for a 5 speed swap
Or if you never want to worry about it again.... $5-7K for a 6 speed swap. Call Stechnic.

I would have to say it was a fairly hard launch then it just jammed up and bam! no more second gear

Granny shifting, not double clutching like you should...
